Malachi 2-B

v. 13-16

"Another thing you do: You flood the Lord's altar with tears. You weep and wail because he no longer pays attention to your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands. You ask, 'Why?' It is because the Lord is acting as the witness between you and the wife of your youth, because you have broken faith with her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant.

Has not the Lord made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his. And why one? Because he was seeking godly offspring. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth.

"I HATE divorce,' says the Lord God of Israel, 'and I hate a man's covering himself with violence as well as with his garment' says the Lord Almighty.

So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith."


"I HATE Divorce"
says the Lord God of Israel
The people were having a pity party because
of their self-inflicted circumstances
and crying to God for attention.
But God is emphatic about how he feels about divorce.
"I HATE IT"
First because in divorce a man & woman break the
covenant they made before the Lord God Almighty.
Second reason, as God's children they have been blessed
with a bonding relationship to produce children whom would
be trained up to walk in their parents faith.
Godly offspring become the next generation to carry on the faith.
So guard yourself in your spirit & do not break faith.
